Lucy Jamieson Clinches Prestigious Women’s English Amateur Championship
Recent University of St Andrews graduate, former Arnold Palmer Golf Scholar, and Winning Students 100 Scholar Lucy Jamieson has claimed victory at the prestigious Women’s English Amateur Championship, held over six gruelling days at the historic Royal Liverpool Golf Club. Jamieson qualified from the strokeplay in 5th place and was victorious following 5 rounds of matchplay competition. Lucy secured the title with a 3 & 1 win over Grace Bowen (Droitwich) in the 36-hole final.
The Women’s English Amateur Championship, first played in 1912 at Prince’s and now held concurrently with the men’s event since 2020, is one of the most esteemed titles in amateur golf. Jamieson’s win adds another illustrious chapter to the tournament’s storied history.
Jamieson, a four-time champion on The R&A Student Tour Series — Europe’s leading university golf circuit — consistently showcased her exceptional talent during her time at St Andrews. Her most recent triumph came at Portugal’s Troia Golf Club earlier this year, capping off a strong run that included a runner-up finish just weeks prior in Spain.
Jamieson’s success stands as a powerful testament to the strength and momentum of the University of St Andrews golf programme. Designed to support elite student-athletes, the programme enables golfers to compete at the highest national and international levels while thriving academically. His victory reflects the programme’s development over recent years and reinforces the university’s reputation for nurturing top-tier golfing talent.
This achievement follows a landmark season for St Andrews, which saw the team capture the BUCS National Championship for the third time in the last four years and lead both the male and female Student Tour Series Orders of Merit. Current golf scholar and former Helen Holm Scottish Women’s Open Amateur Stroke Play Champion, Ellie Monk, also delivered a strong performance—qualifying 10th in stroke play and narrowly missing out in the last 32 after a tightly contested match that went to the 19th hole.
